^ ^ ^ I hope that's positive.

 

i just bought a 93 as-well : ) great cars

 

Better learn quick brother!!

 

UPDATE!!!

Here are some pics I took. Still not sure were the leak is from. I used my camera to record a vide behind the oil neck and noticed alot of crud behind it.

Oil neck thing





WTF is this ?????



It is oil all over it. I also. Noticed my oil has alot of gas in it. Not at all like my rx8.

 

Any ideas??

 

Blow by on these causes a good bit of gas in the oil hence the 2500 to 2800 oil changes many do. Some even earlier.

 

I can live with that. So what about the second picture. It's located directly under the throttle body beside a spark plug. What is it?????

 

Get an upgraded catch can if you dont already have one. Nice fd though man

 

Thanks I've been looking into them. I still don't have any idea what the port is for in the second picture.

 

Going to clean the oil from the engine and put a hose on that outlet and see it that's the oil leak. I'll also be installing a oil press guage. Will post pics.

 

Ordered 1/8 bsp to 1/8 npt to pull the oil press sender off and install my own oil press gauge.

 

here is an update with more info and a problem. sorry for the video be sideways up and down but please feel free to comment.

 

here is what i did for the oil pressure sender.

 

did i miss the pictures?

 

??? what pics are you looking for

 

A good used main pulley shouldn't be much. Watch the 3rd Gen. Parts for Sale section or PM a member named Fritz Flynn. He's a well known and reliable source of used parts. If he's got one it'll be priced fairly. If you don't have any luck PM me. I MAY have one, but I'd need to look through a half dozen boxes and with my work schedule, it might take a while.
And at the risk of being insulting....remember, you do NOT to need to mess with the hub bolt. Just the four 10 mm bolts holding the pulley. I mention this only because some fail to miss the obvious. Sorry.
Also, just so you know, the pulley comes in two sections plus the trigger wheel. There's only one way that it will go on...correctly. Again, the FSM is your friend.

IIRC the FSM specifies minimum oil pressure at 3000 rpm is 55 psi. If you're using the stock sender, IMO you could have probably kept the stock gauge. Just keep the connection clean. Occasionally a new sender is needed. But your right, oil pressure is also influenced by fuel dilution (which is common), the viscosity rating of the oil you put in and it's temperature. You'll also typically see fuel dilution a little quicker as it turns colder because the car will idle richer longer. Not a big deal, but one reason why recommended oil change intervals are a little closer.

 

Thank you for the breath of fresh air. Really it means a lot. I'll check the smaller bolts if that's not it ill get up with fritz again. Once I change the oil ill take notes of oil pressure at different milage.

If you don't mind can you take a look at the photo I took of the port on the driver side of the engine that seems to be venting oil. It's making a mess and I don't know if I should cap it off or route it to and oil catch can.

 

Repost of mystery port picture. I hate being a noob.

 

Fortune auto meet. One of their cars was an FD. It belongs to one of the female owners. .......wa-wa-wee-wa.......

 

Is that coming from an iron? And if so, which one (front or center) is that on? I'm honestly drawing a blank on what that's for. Intuitively, if it's spewing oil and open, plug it with something that's oil resistant. If you don't sense any issues with performance, your probably golden. In the mean-time I'll try to look at my car and figure out what it's for.

 

center iron, its tucked away. go down from the trottle body then to the left. if you pass the top end of the spark plug wires youve gone too far, its just above the motor's stamp (follow the hard line from under the trottle body down). ill post a video of getting to it if needed.

 

My present from VDOT. Its nice to see my tax dollars are being put to good use. These tires are 2 months old and have less than 2000 miles.

 

pully wobble fixed bolts were new and loose. 2 plus turns each

any ideas on what post #29 second picture is?????? what is that port for it seems to vent oil

 

 

Sorry Killacamster, I haven't remembered to check my car to be sure when I had the chance recently. I'm not certain, but I just don't remember having that port on my car. The only speculation I can come up with is for the PCV, but checking the 93 FSM it only shows the port on the filler neck. But the only thing worse than no information is the wrong information, so I was reluctant to post even that.
If you don't have any luck soon I'll PM a couple guys and give them a link to this.
